My partner and I had been engaged for over a year before we finally decided we wanted to go through with engagement photos. Having never taken professional photos before, we were a bit unsure/hesitant, but Natasha and the Apollo team made us totally at ease and the end results were more than worth it!

Natasha made us feel really comfortable - we let her know prior that we preferred a natural style with close-up shots, and that's definitely what we got. All of the photos were expertly taken and edited - she was able to catch so many candid & playful moments and scenery, and we're

Thank the f*ckin photography gods I hired Apollo. 1) They provided photography, photo booth, and videography - all in one sweep 2) they are SUPER organized and make sure to check in / keep you on track for picture planning. They also offer recommendations when asked but aren't pushy 3) obviously wedding photography costs some $$; however, this felt very very worth the money and they offer some payment plans which made it super easy 4) their photographers /videographers should be teaching graduate-level classes on reading the room and emotional intelligence. We had MANY formal group photos

When the world shut down due to COVID-19, we were initially terrified we'd lose every cent we paid toward our many wedding vendors.
With our original wedding postponed a year, Apollo Fotografie stepped up to the challenge of managing the date change. They not only transferred our original package without penalty, but also provided us the chance to hire them for our intimate elopement on the original date with just parents and witnesses present.
Our photographer Abbie, was a dream! She knew exactly how to capture key moments while not being distracting during the ceremony... I forgot she was there

Jonathon is absolutely incredible! He's quick to reply back on all emails, shows up on-time, and has one of the best personalities of any photographer. He made us laugh by playing games in the middle of our shoot and we love this about him! It's so important to laugh and have fun in your photos and he makes sure that they feel and are REAL!

We hired Apollo for our wedding and engagement shoot and we will update this review after our actual wedding date, but the engagement shoot was a huge success. Jonathon captured over 800 shots of us within 2 hours and every single one of them was

When we started planning our wedding, we knew that one of the most important aspects of the day would be a photographer who would not only be able to take amazing photos, but one who would also be easy going and fun to have around. We were so lucky to find that in Apollo Fotografie!

The whole team was such a dream to work with, from Jonathon during our first call, to Michael & Jeremi who were our day off photographers. Everyone was attentive, responsive, and needless to say, extremely talented! The photos that Michael & Jeremi took of the day came out so much better than we could have

Our photographer Liv at Apollo Fotografie made our engagement photo shoot absolutely spectacular! Despite current COVID-19 related restrictions, we were able to have a safe and beautiful shoot outside. I would totally recommend this company for any photography needs in the Bay Area đźŠ

Working with Apollo Fotografie was effortless, fun, dynamic, and the final product was exactly what I was looking for! Da Karai knew how to get me out of my discomfort by making me laugh and helping me engage with the camera and surroundings while building my self-confidence. I would highly recommend working with Apollo Fotografie either for personal or professional needs as I did for my coaching business!

We loved our photographs from Apollo Fotografie! Jonathon was incredibly helpful getting us set up, and our day of photographers, Angela & Jeremi, were really great! They had us do a combination of serious and fun poses which made for a great photo album. By far the best wedding photographer in the Bay Area!

My wife and I truly cannot express how amazing Apollo was for our wedding

Everything from the amazing gifts, to the kindness and prompt responses...they were all by far the most pleasant experience of planning our wedding and easily our favorite vendor to deal with.

Everyone we hired (2 photographers and 1 videographer) were all PERFECT and played a vital part of the best day of our lives. Not only their professionalism, but their personalities all radiated throughout the night to the point where guests kept commenting to me how much they loved them.

Looking forward to recommending everyone

We loved working with Apollo Fotografie for our big day! For the planning process, Jonathon was great to work with. They have a wonderfully organized system for capturing the details, what we wanted and what was important to us. We received perfectly-timed reminders for every step of the process, so we never had to worry about forgetting something or dropping the ball, and every time we had a one-off question it was promptly answered. Our day-of photographer was Anna, who was so easy to work with. She was flexible, efficient and listened to what we wanted. And most importantly, we absolutely LOVED

We booked Apollo Fotografie for our engagement and wedding photography. We were assigned Anna and she was so perfect! We are generally pretty awkward people and not good at posing but Anna helped us feel super comfortable and gave us pose ideas without making things feel too posed. Everything was easy from start to finish and while we only have a few teasers so far from the wedding, we are already obsessed and can't decide on our favorite. We know the rest will be AMAZING!

Right from the start, we knew we wanted our photos to be one of the most important things for our wedding. After researching for a couple of days, I stumbled across Apollo Fotografie from The Knot. They were one of the top vendors labeled as “the best wedding photographer in San Francisco.” Their pictures were elegant, classic, natural and candid. After contacting them, we were happy and relieved to know that they were available and can travel to San Jose on one of the most popular wedding date of 2018.
The owner, Jonathon, reached out to us and made sure we were able to express what we looked

I HIGHLY recommend Apollo Fotografie to any future brides or grooms looking for a San Francisco Wedding Photographer!! They were incredibly professional, kind and made the entire process simple and easy. Jonathon always responded promptly and answered all of our questions.
The photos were the most important things to me, other than getting hitched, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Kate was our photographer and she was AMAZING! Her upbeat, kind and patient attitude put us all at ease, not to mention what a blast she is to be around. We loved sharing our special day with her and

Apollo Fotografie is amazing! If you're looking for a wedding photography team who is professional, responsive, and organized, look no further. They are the best wedding photographer in San Francisco. Jonathon is so on top of his game when it comes to coordination. Everything went so smoothly because he asks all the right questions and makes sure he has all the necessary information. Even though this can mean more homework for you, it ultimately results in a super smooth day and you getting exactly what you want. I had such peace of mind because the whole team was so professional and experienced

Going into the process of wedding planning, we knew that the photographer and the videographer would be the most important vendors. We spent months researching and interviewing them. We are so so happy that we found Apollo Fotografie and that Jonathan hooked us up with Brooke. We absolutely loved working with both of them! Brooke is professional,… very talented, super nice, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. When we got to see our photos, we were thrilled to see how perfectly she captured the day! Thank you, Brooke! We can't stop looking at all of the photos you took! You

Choosing the photographer and videographer of your big day is a very important task, and I'm so glad we had Apollo Fotografie. They were responsive, communicative, and most of all, produced outstanding work. I watched hours of different wedding videos, but it was Apollo Fotografie's sweeping shots, attention to detail, and smooth storytelling that brought us in. Our wedding video did not disappoint, and multiple people told us that it made them cry. Apollo Fotografie was great at capturing the small, natural moments of beauty while also providing us with some pretty epic shots. On

How do you begin to thank someone that made the biggest day of your life completely casual and easy and on top of all of that - your photos incredible!!! My husband and I chose Apollo because their photo styles seemed to capture what we were looking for and because their rates are incredibly affordable.

Our interactions by phone with the owner, Jonathan were fun and he asked the right questions to make us think about how to schedule & organize our day.

Terilyn was our photographer and we only met her the day of our wedding literally at our first look as I am about to walk up to my then fiancĂ

OVERALL SERVICE AND COMMUNICATION
Overall, the quality of service was above and beyond anything we expected. We discovered Apollo Fotografie on The Knot and verified them on Yelp, of course. We absolutely loved the style of the photos we saw across the different portfolios. We met with Jonathon via video chat for our initial meeting, and truly loved his energy and passion. We booked the team shortly thereafter and were so excited. From the first email

These guys were great! Jonathon Dakarai was amazing and would do it all over again. Our photographer was very accommodating and enthusiastic and professional - she cared alot about getting the shots we asked for and really captured the essence of our day at Kenwood Ranch - organic, outdoor wedding with dinner at wooden farm tables in an orchard complete with an Italian accordionist to break the ice. I even hand dyed all my own runners and clipped olive branches from our orchard at home, I wanted to have it feel really organic. They captured that tone really nicely, and it looks like a Martha Stewart
